Swimming through the night on Monday 7th August and finishing on
Tuesday 8th August, Wendy Figures successfully crossed the English
Channel in 13 hours 45 minutes. Her boat pilot was Fred Mardle on
Masterpiece of CSA and she had plenty of support with her crew of 4!
Well done Wendy – another great swim!

Many congratulations to Philip Hodges who completed a solo swim of
Loch Awe on 19th August. His time (subject to ratification by the
BLDSA Committee) was 15 hours 3 minutes 44 seconds.

An incredible swim by Philip, more so because Philip has been in
Ireland for much of the last fortnight patiently awaiting his North
Channel slot. Unfortunately his tide was blown out, but in an
incredible display of resilience, he swam Loch Awe instead today.
